Parents,
We are a
couple of weeks into our second semester and so far things are going
great! We are in the process of
planning some field trips, a service learning project, and other exciting
things for our students. We invite you
to take a look at our newsletter so that you will be informed of upcoming
events, Unity needs and fees that are due.
We wish all
of our students and each of you the very best in 2016!
Sincerely,
Meagan Hooper, site manager

Fees Due
Parents, please remember that you need to pay the second
semester fee before the end of the month.
The fee is $50.00. If your student
receives a free or a reduced lunch, the fee is waived.
Thursday, January 14
– ALL students need to stay until 5:00!
The Science Guy is coming to Unity! He will be doing an interactive science
experience from 4:00-5:00. Please do not
pick your child up until 5:00 if at all possible. Unity has paid for The Science Guy to come
see us and I would prefer if his presentation is not interrupted.
More Important News
Service Project
Unity students will be taking on a service project this nine
weeks benefitting Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue.
This organization sponsors over 50 active doggy foster families and focuses
on dogs that need more one-on-one attention who are overlooked by the general
rescue population.
It is my goal for every student to bring at least 1 item for
each week of February. You can collect
many of these items from around your house or you can collect items from
family, friends, and neighbors to bring in.
We will be collecting the following items:
- Towels
- Blankets
- Paper Towels
- Clorox
- Lysol with Bleach Spray Cleaner
- Laundry Detergent
- New or Gently Used Dog Beds
- Stuffed Animals
- Gently Used Toys
- Lysol Cleaner with Hydrogen Peroxide
- Garbage Bags
Unity Needs

cold and flu season
- Clorox Wipes
- Kleenex
- Paper Towels
